Chapter 333 The C-word scroll is difficult at both ends

  Feng Ziying frowned slightly after reading her father's letter sitting under her mother and aunt in good spirits.

  "Father means to approve of this marriage?"

  It seems that Qiao Yingjia should have written a letter to his father, explaining the benefits of this marriage in detail, and his father was really in his favor, so he naturally supported him.

  It has always been what my father hoped to be able to marry Wenchen.

  The Shen family has been scholarly for generations, and Shen Pang was also a Jinshi. Now he is a member of the fourth rank, and he may go further in the future. Moreover, the girl from the Shen family is good at poetry, calligraphy and etiquette, so she naturally became a good match in his father's mind.

   "Well, your father's intention is that after the new year, you can choose a suitable time to go to the Shen family to propose marriage, but the master of the Shen family is in Shandong, and I'm afraid you still need to go to Shandong."

  According to the usual practice, for an ordinary family, it is enough to find a suitable matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, but a family like Shen and Feng's family must not be so hasty, and they need to entrust Qiao Yingjia, a middleman, to help coordinate well before they come to the door to discuss marriage.

"But the father said in this letter that he should report to the court that the uncle's title should be inherited by his son, and the incense should also be inherited by his son who married a wife and had children. This may take time. In addition, the father said that the marriage of the Shen family With the long room or the father's room?"

  So this is the inconvenience of correspondence. It cannot be explained clearly face to face. There are still several steps involved.

  The court posthumously shows that you have not forgotten the past achievements, but it is another matter if you want to be a noble, and you have to propose it to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites reported it to the emperor for approval.

  Of course, another step is involved now. You must first consecrate yourself before you are allowed to attack the noble. These are two things.

  Ms. Duan was also a little hesitant, and believed that she had read it, but her husband didn't say which family the Shen family was married to.

  Of course, this may have something to do with the fact that the husband has not yet obtained the court's consent to allow his son to concurrently prosecute and inherit the title of Grand Earl, but since the imperial court came to pursue the title at this time, all fools know that this must be agreed to concomitantly proclaim the title.

   Otherwise, how could he go to his hometown in Linqing to find a distant relative of the Feng family who is far away from him to come to Xijue? Then this uncle really sacrificed for the court in vain.

   But after all, the court has not yet approved it, so the husband is cautious and will not mention it for the time being, but it is estimated that the problem of the long house should be solved first.

   This made Mrs. Duan feel a little pity. The Shen family is in good condition. It is said that Miss Shen is also the eldest daughter. She is healthy and well-educated. It would be great if she could enter her room.

"Mother, my father didn't speak in such a hurry. He just said that he basically agreed to the marriage. As for when to propose marriage, I'm afraid we have to wait until the son is sixteen years old?" Feng Ziying knew her mother's appearance. I can't wait to get this marriage settled as soon as possible.

"What's the relationship with getting married? Let's talk about it first. As for getting married, you can wait until you turn sixteen in September next year." Duan didn't think so, "I think your father also meant the same thing. If it's about inheriting your uncle's house , we have to consider your room as well."

"Mother, what my son means is that we should wait until the Shen family's marriage is finalized. Don't worry." Seeing her mother's anxiety, Feng Ziying felt a little nervous. Daiyu and Baochai, this has really become a difficult situation. If the decision is so urgent, it may be difficult to pass the mother's test.

  Especially compared with the Shen family, seeing that the long house is so prominent and complete, how could it be my turn to be like this? Each of them is either bereaved of father or mother, either from an imperial merchant family, or weak in body, any of these will probably make the mother pick her nose and eyes, and she will not agree to a hundred of them.

   Because of this, Feng Ziying wanted to procrastinate.

  Girl Lin is too young, if she says she wants to marry Girl Lin, she is so strong, her mother only needs to ask her, and she will have to turn against her immediately.

   After two years of delay, Lin Yatou grew up and became healthier, so it might be easier for her mother to talk about it.

   Thinking of this, Feng Ziying suddenly shuddered, Lin Ruhai should wait for another two years, this year seems to be really close.

  The problem is that I haven’t heard that there is anything wrong with Lin Ruhai. Even the second master of the Xue family seems to be quite good. According to the book, this second master Xue should also be dead.

  Perhaps history has also changed because of his appearance, or the book written by Mr. Cao is his own free play and processing during this period of history? Everything is not exactly according to this history?

  The more Feng Ziying thinks about it, the more it seems to be the case. There have been some confusions in many histories. Small events may appear or disappear, but the big historical trend has not changed.

For example, Jianzhou Jurchen rose, Nurhachi built a city in Hetuala, Kuandian Six Forts abandoned, and Da Zhou, which replaced Ming Dynasty, was on the passive defensive in Liaodong; The Battle of Byokjekwan and Ulsan all appeared, but Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't seem to be able to shrink back like in history. He even dared to send Japanese people deep into the inland, and even intervened in the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect.

  However, the Battle of Ningxia and the Bozhou Rebellion did not occur, but it seems that this kind of social environment seems to happen at any time.

  Since this is the case, does that mean that some small historical events simply did not happen, or would not happen?

   Well, Feng Ziying dare not say that the Battle of Ningxia was a small incident, but Lin Ruhai and Xue Erye died a few years earlier and died a few years later, it must be a small incident, right?

  The more I think about it, the more confused I become, and Feng Ziying is not sure about all of this.

   Seeing his son's strange expression, Duan looked suspiciously for a while, and suddenly asked: "Brother Keng, didn't you already have an idea yourself? Or which girl you fell in love with, tell your mother and aunt."

   "Ah?!" Caught off guard, Feng Ziying was caught off guard by her mother. Feng Ziying was stunned for a while, and then shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, how dare my son go behind his mother's back..."

"Brother Keng, my sister is not saying that you want to get married privately, but that if you have a suitable marriage in your mind, you might as well bring it up and let your sister and aunt consider it for you, and then discuss whether it is suitable or not..." Xiao Duan laughed. She felt that Brother Keng seemed to have a ghost in his heart.

   "Uh, I do have some intentions, but I'm still immature..." Feng Ziying thought that it might be a good idea to give her mother a little breath first, and make mental preparations, lest she react too violently later.

   "Oh? Really?" Duan, big and small, were all taken aback, "Which girl, have we met?"

   "No, no, mother, aunt, you are thinking too much, my son just has an idea..." Seeing that the situation is not good, Feng Ziying quickly retracted the conversation.

"Well, brother Keng, you have an idea, and mother knows it, but you have to be clear, your matter concerns the entire Feng family, well, at least your father's room is related to incense and family affairs, there can be no ambiguity,... "

Hearing her mother's words, Feng Ziying felt bitter in her heart, "Uh, mother, you are the heir of the incense, why don't you also say it, if it doesn't work, the son will take a concubine to give birth to two for you first, how about it? lest you keep thinking about it." ,..."

"Uh, it's not impossible..." Hearing what his son said, Duan hesitated for a moment, then turned to his sister and asked, "Wanqin, what do you think? Why don't you wait for Ziying to turn 16 next year, and pay a couple of dollars first." A concubine? Maybe she can spread the branches and leaves for our Feng family,..."

Mrs. Duan had calculated that if she wanted to settle the marriage of the eldest house first, she would have to wait until her son was sixteen years old. Getting married between the two families is not a trivial matter. It may not be possible to settle it, so it will take at least two or three years until her room is discussed about marriage. How can she afford to wait?

"Sister, it's okay for Brother Keng to take a concubine, but if you have a child first, I'm afraid..." Xiao Duan also knows what her sister is thinking, but this is also a troublesome matter. The eldest son and eldest daughter come first, so there must be pressure on the wife If you change to a concubine who has a small heart, I'm afraid there will be no peace in this back house.

"If you don't have children, why don't you take a few girls to take over the house?" Duan curled her lips, "Brother Keng, I think that Jin Chuan'er is capable, and that girl in Xiangling is honest and honest, look That appearance is also fertile, next year you will be sixteen, if you are interested, then accept them, but absolutely not before, your aunt has to check every month,..."

  Feng Ziying has black lines all over her head, why did she exclude Yun Shang directly? Could it be that mother has such a big prejudice against Yun Shang? Speaking of Yun Shang's viciousness, then Jin Chuan'er looks similar to Yun Shang, right? So Xiangling was born more dignified.

   "Well, Yunshang is also fine, mother knows you have been thinking about it,..."

   It was finally saved, or Yun Shang would cry all night listening to this, Feng Ziying heaved a sigh of relief.

"Mother, let's wait for this matter. What my son means is that this incense heir is definitely not a problem, so..." Feng Ziying seized the opportunity to instill in her mother that the distinction between concubine and concubine is really not so important in the thinking of Feng Ziying, a modern person. There are so many concepts, if they are really their own children, how can they pay so much attention? But that's not the case in this world.

"Stop, brother Keng, don't play tricks in front of me and your aunt..." Duan Shi finally sensed that something was wrong with her son today, and her eyes became more and more suspicious, "Your marriage, you must Your aunt and I have to make the decision, so that’s fine for the girl from the Shen family, it’s your father’s decision, and it’s probably your uncle’s house, but your aunt and I will make the decision for our house.”

  Feng Ziying let out a foul breath. It seems that she really has to wait for two years to see the situation. It may be difficult for her mother to make concessions.
